　　Microsleeps become extremely dangerous when they occur in situations which demand constant alertness, such as driving a motor vehicle or working with heavy machinery.

　　When experiencing microsleeps while driving an automobile, from the perspective of the driver, he or she drives a car, and then suddenly realizes that several seconds have passed by unnoticed.

The sleeping driver is at very high risk for having an accident during a microsleep.

　　開車時出現(xiàn)微睡眠狀況，從司機(jī)的角度來看，他/她正開著車，好像突然有那么幾秒鐘一下子跳過去了。司機(jī)本人可能沒有意識到在這幾秒鐘里他是出于睡眠狀態(tài)的，但他的確是睡著了。開車時出現(xiàn)微睡眠狀況極易發(fā)生意外。
